I thought this year was great and would recommend the following:

1.Keep the same hotel next year or if you move it south
find one that is very simular.
2 More organization of the trailers for Friday night
3 Origin garage was great but if this grows again next
year I'd suggest we pass on the garage. I agree
with Drew that I felt a lot of shaking up there and we
could be possibly overloading the structure. I don't want
to be on TV in those conditions!
4. The southern cruise was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. I really liked Gruene with the exception of the parking
but I talked to the guy who came out and tried to
direct everyone and he said there was another lot we
didn't know about that he was trying to send people
too. More coordination there is needed.
6. I also agree with Tom that it would of been nice to
have either everyone leave at one time from Gruene
or have 2 or 3 groups leave at different time back to
keep people together and allow for the people to leave
or stay a bit longer. For safety this would be good as
Drew and I saw a lot of cars on their own on the way
back.
7. Saturday night everyone kind of disappeared again a
result of not coming back together. As we said last
year the hotel should be at the end of the cruise by
5:30 pm or so.
8. The weather sucked Friday!!!!!!!

2004:

1. Same Hotel
2. Move it to end of March or April - at least warmer and
prettier out
3. Ditch the Origin garage and stage up by the hotel.
4. Leave on the cruise around 10:30 am return to hotel
5:30 PM

Great Job Austin Folks!!!
